  Der Sammelband einer Forschungseinrichtung der Bundeswehr beleuchtet die Machtverhältnisse in der Arktis Im hohen Norden ist die NATO Russland unterlegen Von Julian Staib Vielleicht muss Europa Donald Trump irgendwann dankbar sein. Dafür, dass er nach all den Drohungen gegen Dänemark am Ende sicherstellte, dass in dem gemeinsamen Abkommen mit Grönland drinsteht, dass dieses auch dann NATO-Mitglied bleiben wird, wenn es unabhängig werden sollte. Und dass dann NATO-Gegnern Investitionen in kritischen Bereichen auf Grönland untersagt bleiben. Denn die Situation in der Arktis könnte sich rasch ändern. Der hohe Norden ist das Epizentrum des Klimawandels. Nirgendwo heizt sich die Erde schneller auf als dort. Schon in wenigen Jahren könnte sommers der Weg über das Nordpolarmeer eisfrei sein. Das schafft neue Möglichkeiten für die Schifffahrt, aber auch für den Abbau von Ressourcen. Und es dürfte die ohnehin zuletzt stark gestiegenen Spannungen in der Region noch einmal verschärfen.

  The art of living dangerously   It would be nice to think that the world eco nomy wi l become less shock-prone, but it probably won’t  Financial Times UK 14 Oct 2026  Mar tin Wolf mar tin.wolf@ft.com  The past few days have reminded us of one of the two chief con tem por ary eco nomic real it ies: the pres id ent of the US is a wrecker.

Can this last? The reason for believ ing that it will is that growth has been the dom in ant fea ture of the global eco nomy since the middle of the last cen tury. Yet we must always remem ber that growth is one thing, but stable growth quite another.  What, then, is the latest Don ald Trump out rage? First, he star ted a war on Iran, without a plan, which has rai...

  Ed Johnson The Global AI Bust What Will Survive When the Boom Ends Ruchir Sharma | October 13, 2026 Few people doubt that AI is among the most transformative technologies to emerge in the past century. By many measures, it is spreading faster and more widely than any innovation since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Steam engines came into common use in the nineteenth century and electricity in the early twentieth, but their full potential was not realized before the completion of railways, highways, and power grids decades later. Computers for business use emerged in the 1950s, but they gave no visible lift to the economy before the Internet connected them in the 1990s. Commercial artificial intelligence, by contrast, appeared almost overnight on screens worldwide, at a moment when the overwhelming majority of humans already had access to a computer or smartphone. Less than four years after the release of ChatGPT, roughly 30 percent of Americans are now using AI , five t...
